Play it safe
We will take reasonable health precautions, but we are not requiring masks. Please wear one if you wish.
Pot Luck Playing
These self-led consorts chosen by lot will include up to 6 players. Playing levels are mixed. Tuning will be A=415. Check the appropriate box on the registration form below.
If You Don't Want a Pot Luck Consort
Players of all levels who prefer not to trust to chance can sign up for more-structured morning and afternoon coached consorts, in which parts may be doubled. Check the appropriate box on the registration form below and list your playing level.
Novice Classes
We’ll also be holding (free) morning and afternoon classes for beginners. Participants will be lent an instrument for the day. E-mail Heidi Waleson at hwopera@gmail.com for information.(Also, if you have a viol to lend a novice, please let us know when you register!)
Pot Luck Dining
If you’d like to make a dish to share at lunch, please note that on your paper or web registration form. If you don’t want to contribute, please bring a brown bag lunch. Dessert and beverages will be provided for everyone.
Silent Auction

The Meeting
The membership meeting will start at 12:00. Topics will include past and upcoming events and a discussion of aims and projects. Please come and participate—your suggestions are very, very welcome and are what makes the VdGS/GNY work!
